Last week, 20 school council children from the @LEADAcadTrust took part in a food tech day here at Uplands. They learnt how to make Chia Seed pudding, handmade pasta and banana muffins. The children enjoyed the day and mixed well with the other school council members. #Empower

Thank You to Our Amazing Parents and Children! A huge thank you to all the parents who joined us for our recent Artbot activity! The children worked incredibly hard to design and build their own Artbots, following instructions carefully - using their imagination and DT skills.

We were thrilled to welcome author Peter J Murray this week! Year 5 & 6 loved hearing about his writing journey and the Mokee Joe series. They left inspired to read and write—some even won signed books! Every PPG child received a signed book from the school.📚 #ReadingForPleasure

Tonight we played a great semi-final against Taylor Road, which ended in a dramatic shootout. Rayyan’s clutch save sealed the win! In the final, Uplands battled hard but fell 2–0 to Hope Hamilton. Great resilience, teamwork & sportsmanship from all. Well done, Uplands! 👏⚽
